Bill, I wonder if the New Zealand report is the one from Alexandra, in the
LATEST NEWS: I remember seeing ice-spikes mentioned in the "unanswered
questions" section of PLANET SCIENCE website. I checked back there and
found several answers posted by learned people. They say that the
phenomenon has been written up before in journals of atmospheric
sciences. One person from New Zealand has observed very large ice spikes,
and has even seen corkscrew versions (where the changing direction of
wind caused the growing tip to tilt in a circular-varying direction.)
